Australian Army NH Industries MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopters A40-042 & A40-001 Pop into Rockhampton Airport as "Cowboy"

On Monday 4 February, a pair of Australian Army NH Industries MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopters were spotted visiting Rockhampton Airport.

One of the newer MRH-90s A40-042 arrived first from Townsville as "Cowboy 2".

The second, and original MRH-90, A40-001 then arrived, also from Townsville, but as "Cowboy 1".

After taking in fuel and having some lunch, the crews rejoined the choppers and both MRH-90s departed together for the Oakey Army Aviation Centre as "Cowboy".

Sincere thanks to local plane spotters 'IAD' and Russell P for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
